What does SNK stand for?

Do the three letters "SNK" stand for anything? This is in regards to the great Neo Geo company. I've tried searching around without any luck. Can anyone shed light on this jeopardy final question?
 
Capcom - Japan Capsule Computers

Nintendo - "leave luck to heaven"

Atari - the name Atari comes from the ancient board game Go. "Atari" is a Japanese term that applies to moves which threaten to capture opponent's stones.
 
According to Tuesday Morning Quarterback, AARP, AAA, and KFC aren't even acronyms anymore. The names were officially changed so that they're just a series of letters. Crazy huh?
 
KFC isn't Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore...'cos legally KFC isn't allowed to call them chickens 'cos most of they're "chickens" are genetically enhanced beyond that of a normal chicken.

"Luck of heaven" Nintendo translates to is actually a gambling term. Horse races, playing cards, gambling, Yamauchi, gangs, Yakuza, etc.

Nintendo first started out (either in the 1600s or the 1800s, I forget) doing playing cards.
